This is actually a very important topic which in my view limits a lot the way how we can lock versions in Anaplan. If you copy your budget into a new version which has to have NO movement in numbers you normally do a bulk copy and then make a version Read only. However we can also limit edit from edit to as It's also possible that there is a Budget version which should not be editable or recalculated for a specific year BUT open for a next year input. So calculations have to stay in but not for a locked period. What can cause a recalculation? Changing parent, changing master data, changing parameter which is not specified by Versions/Time Period. If I understand it correctly - the only way to get data from recalculating is to use Formula Scope - Current Version and you have to have only 1 version being recalculation and that's it. In this case you also get limited in using apprioaches like Formula Scope - Actual Version which is handy as you want to show actuals for the month of actuals and for other month let input be possible. Are there more articles, best practices related to this topic of locking a version / time period from being recalculated?
